Hi everyone! I'm Janelle, a freelance writer and photographer. I have an insatiable hunger for travel and always down for new experiences. :)

Aside from my freelance gigs, I am also a blogger. I share my travel experiences on my blog (www.jhanzey.net). You can also check me out on Instagram (instagram.com/jhanzey)!

I can't really host anyone as our home is small, but I'm down to help you plan your trips around the Philippines, as well as give you a quick tour around Manila!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm an introvert, I still love meeting new people and experiencing life outside of my comfort zone. I would love to explore new places and get a different perspective by having a taste of what it means to live in a place through couchsurfing. :)

Interests

I love to write, dance, watch movies, and create playlists. I am also into taking photographs and editing videos!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love discovering different types of music, no matter what genre it is. But lately, I've been into indie bands and some chill EDM music.

I like a whole bunch of movies, I really can't pinpoint one! Anything would definitely be fine, except horror and gory films (I don't like seeing someone's gut!).

I also like reading! I definitely like the works of Murakami, Palahniuk, and JK Rowling (Harry Potter for life)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit the comfortable job to follow my dream of becoming a full-fledged writer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach photography and writing. I also used to work in Marketing, so I can give a bit of advice there. :)

I'd love to learn languages and cooking! I'm not big of a cook so this would be something that I'd love to explore.
